  The development of magnetic configurations to confine the stability fluid plasmas for fusion energy is a challenge that is a mixture of basic fusion engineering and invention. In order to keep the fusion reactions in the plasma to be continuing in the fusion reactors, the speed of tritium breeding (TBR) should be kept above a certain value. At the Apex fusion reactor, a fast flowing thin liquid wall has replaced the solid first wall concept of the traditional reactors. Behind the fast flowing thin liquid wall, a slower and thicker second liquid wall (coat) is present.

Introduction</title><p>Apex fusion reactor has an advantage of high neutron wall load capability due to its high beta. Controlled nuclear fusion can be a very important energy for future. At the Apex fusion reactor, a fast flowing thin liquid wall has replaced the solid first wall concept of the traditional reactors. In this study, Flibe salt solutions are used in the liquid wall of the reactor. The results obtained for both salt solutions are compared. At the construction of the liquid wall, it is possible to use liquid metals but it might be necessary to use electric isolators to manage magnetic-hydrodynamic drafts at the liquid metal flows, and as this will affect the plasma stability which maintains vital importance for fusion reactors, it is an important disadvantage for the usage of liquid metals. The application of the method to a problem is based on the idea of an approximate calculation of the parameter that is aimed to be calculated, using the random numbers of the problem by considering the results of this simulation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.68340-ref1">1</xref>] - [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.68340-ref3">3</xref>] . A random number generator is a critical component in modern cryptographic communication systems, statistical simulation systems and scientific area incorporating Monte Carlo methods [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.68340-ref4">4</xref>] . The general look of the linear equation that will form the random number series is as follows: x<sub>n+1</sub> = (ax<sub>n</sub> + b) mode m. Here mode means modular arithmetic procedure. The first element of the series x<sub>o</sub> is called the seed [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.68340-ref5">5</xref>] - [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.68340-ref7">7</xref>] . Constants a and b are chosen so that the elements of the series will be distributed anarchic and orderly. The same research company has used the following famous Random algorithm. (a = 69,069, b = 0): x<sub>n+1</sub> = (69,069x<sub>n</sub>) mod 2<sup>31</sup> − 1. x<sub>n+1</sub> = (16,807x<sub>n</sub>) mod 2<sup>31</sup>. However, with appropriate algorithms, a computer may be forced to generate Random numbers chosen from an orderly scatter and takes real numbers between (0 - 1). Especially in nuclear field, using the nuclear transport codes, by the aid of MCNP (Monte Carlo n-particle transport code), physical and dynamical events are resulted by repeated utilization of the random numbers.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2. Method</title><sec id="s2_1"><title>2.1. Control of Plasma Position</title><p>Plasma is a collection of charged particles which is macroscopically neutral over a volume that is small compared to its dimensions. Nuclear fusion research has been most actively pursued by the use of hot plasma. In principle, the motion of each particle can be determined from Newton’s second Law and the electrostatic force that each particle exerts on all other particles. The magnetic plasma method must be heated and confined in order to utilize the nuclear fusion energy released from the plasma with a high temperature. The plasma consists of charged particles. Charged particles cannot cross magnetic field lines, but rotate around the lines. There is the outline of the idea of magnetic field lines in which to confine the plasma. In <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref> as shown, elliptic torus of fusion design cross-section, the particle drifts in the presence of a purely torodial magnetic field. The B magnetic gradient and curvature drifts produce a charge separation, which, in turn, produces an electric field with an associated outward drift for both ions and electrons and loss of confinement. In the geometry, a torus is a surface of motion generated by revolving a circle in 3D space.</p><p>When the magnetic field changes slowly, the magnetic moment is conserve. Therefore, if B is increased, mv<sup>2</sup>/2 = μB is also increased and the particles are heated. This kind of heating is called adiabatic heating. This solution shows that the guiding center motion consists of usual ExB drift and the new drift along E. Plasmas can be described as magnetohyrodynamic two fluids of ions and electrons with mass densities ρ<sub>mi</sub><sub>,</sub> ρ<sub>me,</sub> charge density ρ, current density j, flow velocities Vi, Ve and pressures Pi, Pe.</p><p>The number of ions dNi in a small phase space volume,</p><fig id="fig1"  position="float"><label><xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref></label><caption><title> Elliptic torus model of apex fusion design.<sub> </sub></title></caption><graphic mimetype="image"   position="float"  xlink:type="simple"  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/4-2310624x6.png"/></fig><disp-formula id="scirp.68340-formula354"><graphic  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/4-2310624x7.png"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula><p>Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations are the following;</p><disp-formula id="scirp.68340-formula355"><graphic  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/4-2310624x8.png"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula></sec><sec id="s2_2"><title>2.2. The Utilization of the MCSR for Reactor Design</title><p>In the Monte Carlo Method, random numbers are generated for each element and for each random number, an examination is conducted in order to determine if the system obtained or not. There are practical manual methods for the generation of the Random numbers as well as a number of mathematical methods. According to the status of the analyzed system, there are practical methods like tossing dices, heads or tails or bingo, as will be understood from the name Monte Carlo.

By preserving a self sufficient tritium breeding ratio (TBR &gt; 1.12) for a mole fraction up to 12% of UF4, the modified APEX reactor can produce up to ∼3000 kg of 233 U/year or ∼5000 kg of 239 Pu/year, assuming the same baseline fusion power production of 4000 MWth, as in the original APEX concept 50% UF4 in the coolant, the total energy output will increase to 6560 MWth or 9440 MWth, respectively.
